I'm loving my hammock. I've used it on several trips now. Coldest night was the last trip and that was high 40's. I have a poncho liner as an UQ and it works well to about 50. I truly need a warmer UQ, rather maybe a better fitting UQ. The fit is just as important as the rest of it. If you have ANY air gaps you will get a cold spot.

I'm currently gathering material for a winter UQ. It's looking like winter is approaching quickly so I better get to it.

All in all, extremely comfortable, once you get used to it and find your "sweet spot".

I missed my chance of trying it out in warm weather The cold is upon us and would never get to sleep without being toasty warm I'll see if I can make something work inside my greenhouse to support it. In the middle of winter I'll be hanging in the sunshine

I know I've seen posts on the net for 2x4 "hammock stands"..that look good and are functional to boot!Maybe you should try the blackbird in your greenhouse...I doubt it'll ever see the great outdoors...
